Wow... How off topic can one thread get...

Seems wherever myself and GZ get involved then Laxer gets into it.

Men! Can't live with us, can't without us.

 

[Laxer]

I also blame Bruce...

He got us so offtopic he sucked 2 good members and 3 admin into it! :rofl12:

There always has to be a gender variety... Corrine is our diversity in the admin group :lol:

 

[Anthony N]

Anyways, I decided to ditch windows on my netbook, gonna go to linux with it. I'll update ya once I get it all setup. Yay!

 

[GZ]

So... I'm not a "Good Member"???? Thanks... And I thought we were friends... :sad:

 

[Anthony N]

Meh just teasing.

And I know. That's why I went ahead and going to do it.

Ok so I figured out that, one my TV can support 1360 x 768, however it's not native so it stretches to fit.

1280 x 768 fits perfectly crisp, tho I do get vertical bars. Not a concern for me tho.

Anyways I have pictures!

My desktop for it.


Me on my favorite site.



P.S. - My netbook behaves SO much better than it did on windows.

In a bit, I'm possibly going to switch over to Windows 8 as my primary. Currently I only have it bootable via VHD, but it's still a hassle having things on my primary Windows 7 and Windows 8. The only thing to think about here is compatibility with some of my software...

 

[Corrine]

... Corrine is our diversity in the admin group :lol:

Indeed! Not only as the token female but also eliminating any age discrimination issues.

 

[Corrine]

The only thing to think about here is compatibility with some of my software...

Is the software listed in the Windows Compatibility Center: Find Updates, Drivers, & Downloads for Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows 7?

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Linux, Anthony... Once you get used to it, the possibilites are pretty much endless.... Unless you really want to play mainstream games...

In a bit, I'm possibly going to switch over to Windows 8 as my primary. Currently I only have it bootable via VHD, but it's still a hassle having things on my primary Windows 7 and Windows 8. The only thing to think about here is compatibility with some of my software...

Why don't you just rewrite the software? :huh::lol:

Pah... Age... Eh???? You can't be a stone's throw from 30! :angel:

 

[Anthony N]

Finally my bleeding is slowing. sheesh.

Anyways thanks. I've always had a part of me that liked linux.

It'll put good use to the machine now

 

[Laxer]

Grandma Corrine is like 35... Right? :lolg:

Bruce, you are not a good member at all :lolg:

A members goodness status can be determined by the length of their name...

length("gz") = 2...

Not very good... :lol:

 

[Anthony N]

Scratch that, it started again... *sighs*

Typing with one hand sucks a royal pain in the you know what.

Gives a new respect to those who are disabled.

 

[Corrine]

Thanks, Anthony.

Pah... Age... Eh???? You can't be a stone's throw from 30! :angel:

:hysterical: Let's just say that fits my son better than it does me.

Grandma Nana Corrine is like 35... Right? :lolg:

At least "Nana" still remembers 35.

Is the software listed in the Windows Compatibility Center: Find Updates, Drivers, & Downloads for Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows 7?

You won't find anything on the Crestron ToolBox, VTPro, SIMPL+, SIMPL Windows, etc In there though.

Do you get nosebleeds alot?

I used to get them all the time... What type of heat do you have at your house?

 

[Anthony N]

In addition to what I sent Geoff.

It is an unfixable cronic problem that will happen, every year, every winter, for the rest of my life.
